TV Show - Potential Spoiler about Merle

edited March 2013 in The Walking Dead
Not even sure if this picture is fake cause it really looks like Merle. He's the only one who had that thing on his arm, it also looks like him. The one to the right looks like Daryl with his clothes.

    Yeah, I saw this a while back on Reddit.

    Considering that Micheal Rooker finished filming season 3 with 315, it's pretty sure to say this is real.

    Not even sure why a tv show spoiler is here on these forums.

    Even if it might be a fake, it might as well be not
    Could you please stop posting tv show spoilers in the non-spoiler section of the GAME forums?

    Oh god Merle... Oh well, how could this sentence possibly end? Sorry for being so pissed but seriously... you really gotta do that here? With such a bad caption? I've got nothing at all against discussions about the show, as long as they are in the spoiler section. Why can't people differentiate those two parts of the forum?

    Why not: "possible spoiler about S3 episode 15" ?

    I was thinking the spoiler section was for the GAME and it is a walking dead forum and i've seen people discuss the other game that is not a telltale game and also discuss the show. Why can't i make this? Survival instincs is connted to the show and this character. I also said it was/might be a spoiler so if you got spoiled that's your fault for not reading what i typed. Chill out.

    Again, people discuss the show here, the telltale game the new game that has nothing to do on these forums either. I dont see why this fit.

    Sure it might be in the wrong section but i assumed that spoiler section was just for THAT GAME, and as i was not sure if it really was fake or not as the episode has not been on tv or is out for download i just typed the truth of it being "might" be a spoiler. We dont even know yet.

    I recall reading a post from Telltale stating that they don't like tv show/comic spoilers, not even in the spoilers section for the game, so it's probably best not to post them.

    Edit: Here is the post in question. It just says comic, but that probably counts for the show as well.

    Fair enough. Again i did not want to spoil but rather discuss it and i wanted to be as truthful as i could be. That's why it says "might be". I have no proof this is the truth, it might even be Daryl Hallucinating again like he did in Season Two.

    Thanks for reading a "maybe spoiler" (as i was not sure if fake or not, that's what i wanna discuss) thread in the spoiler forum getting spoiled.

    And again, i've seen people discuss the show here, the comic, telltale game and even the new Daryl game. How many of these should be on the forum? One maybe, how many of them ARE on the forum? All of them.

    It's pretty obvious that isn't fake, it's a frickin' huge spoiler too. And now I am sad, fuck. The spoiler forum is actually just in regards to the game, no other spoilers are allowed. Albeit you put a warning, I didn't necessarily believe the spoiler would have been as huge as it was.

    I'm just sad. :( I hope it's fake...

    Again that's your problem. You took a risk in looking at the spoiler, and i wanted to share the news. First i put it in the wrong section and AGAIN, everyone does discuss all mediums of The Walking dead here.

    Trust me, i'm sad as well when i found out. It sure looks like the truth but how will we know? Again it might just be Daryl hallucinating like he did in Season Two. That would make a very good twist and make the Season Finale even better i think.

    EDIT: Sorry if sound like a douche, that's not what i want.

    You can't stop people from posting the threads, that's just going to happen whether we like it or not, but that doesn't make it right. If you see a thousand people robbing a store does that mean you should do it too?

    Comparing robbing a store with making a thread on a forum is a little far-fetched. Also, are you calling me a robber?

    OK, nipping this in the bud.

    Nowhere does it say the spoiler section is for the game alone. It's just as easily applied to the TV show as well - which you'd think would be the case anyway, given that the show's running right now and there's nothing's happening with the game (yet).

    OK, so Rizefall put this in the wrong section to start with - that's not a problem now. There's still a spoiler warning in the thread title, and you still chose to read it anyway.

    You're in the spoiler section reading a thread that warns of possible spoilers. Case closed.

    Yes but the title of the thread(which we can't avoid since it shows up on the main forum page everytime someone posts on it), is "Oh god Merle". What the heck else could it be?

    Yes but that still leaves the problem of people still being able to see the titles of threads in the spoiler forum without actually going to that forum. A problem which only solution is to just not go to the Walking Dead forums completely. You are the mod of course, not me, but it might be a good idea to change the "Oh god Merle" that shows up for all to see every time someone posts. To maybe "Possible TV show spoilers" just to be on the safe side.

    Funny because a mod told me in the past that spoilers are strictly in regards to the game, berating me for putting a spoiler concerning the comics. Whatever though.

    I typed that cause, oh my god it looks like something happend to Merle. Not sure if it being a spoiler i typed "maybe spoiler". That should be enough info that it COULD be a Merle spoiler. COULD. It would be one thing if it was confirmed but we dont know, again it could be a hallucination like Daryl has had before and not this being real.

    No, fair enough. I'll tweak it a little.

    I'm not the type to argue with a mod, but I'd like to respectfully point out that TTG doesn't make the TV version of TWD..... so I doubt most people would come here for or even expect spoilers for anything but the game.

    That said - maybe there needs to be a rule for spoiler tags placed in a thread title.... like "
    Oh god Merle.... MIGHT BE SPOILER (not sure if fake)" --- when a person posts.... just to protect those people who can't watch the show (for whatever reason) until a later time. (or comic or a novel)

    I'll mention it to the other mods, see what they think. Not a bad idea though.

    I have to agree Rize, it isn't good :/ I don't think people expected it, and it god damn jumpscared me o.O It isn't really right, I mean it's obvious it's real. Both pictures are same background, and you'd have to be a MASTER to photocopy that. And the person on the ground is most likely Ben or the father of Ben. Maybe even Glenn man... Stick to game spoilers till they get stuff settled xD

    Thing was, the episode has not been on TV. It's not out to download anywhere. I dont even know the pictures origins as i just found it on a random site and they asked the same as i did.

    But the thing is, look at the bottom of the pic. It's part of a film. There are about 49 mins, the usual length of an episode. It looks legit.

    I found of a random weird ass site. Other than the actual pic the rest looks kinda fake.

    I wonder if AMC is doing like whoever-the-hell-aired-Lost did? I heard rumors that the Lost folks would film out of sequence and sometimes even whole different episodes that weren't "real" episodes to keep things from getting leaked.
    Maybe they had some footage of Merle as a zombie to throw people off, in case anything got leaked. Although I haven't heard of AMC doing too many sneaky things. I suspect it's real. I don't mind. It will make for interesting drama that the show is thus far sorely lacking. (At least in my opinion!)

    Exactly my point - Oh god Merle swallowed a butterfly! No it's either he killed someone or was killed - died what so ever.

    You read that first marked sentence before posting? Doesn't seem like it, seriously before possibly spoiling something, that is not even out yet... (which is pretty much pointless in the first place, as barely anyone would want to see that, as you now hopefully fucking understand due to the comments in this thread) you should take at least 5 minutes and create a thread title, that clearly says what it spoils without spoiling it:
    "Possible Season 3 - Episode 15 Spoiler" That doesn't seem like rocket science to me, but again people don't care enough about others to take 5 minutes and find a fair caption.

    "maybe spoiler" - totally saved it :p

    "Could be" always implies/ includes "could not be"

    What is the point in posting that anyways? Discussing whether he's dead or not, and then again not finding a clear answer because nobody knows?
    Or do you want to be the first guy to post it on this forum?
    If you wanna know whether it's a fake or not I suggest waiting for... the next episode?

    And don't tell me to chill down, I was spoiled due to your shitty caption but you don't even have the decency to at least say "sorry."
    It is a mistake just anyone, yeah I admit me too could make, but you should at least show some... uhhh I don't know the word for it... something like remorse.

    Oh my god you are so mad and so stupid. You just pretty much said, "What's the point of discussing if you dont know the answer". Well then what's the point of this game forum? We dont know anything about Season Two, nothing concrete and we still discuss it until it gets released, same with this episode. What? Well in your opinion forums should not exist cause posting stuff, like questions about a picture, or an idea is just totally stupid.


    I wanted to discuss how real it was, again you read a "maybe" spoiler thread and you got spoiled. I'm sorry but that's YOUR problem not mine. And i said sorry before in this thread so dont come here and say i'm the douche, or idiot just cause i mad this mistake. I was just being realistic by putting it "might be fake" MIGHT BE SPOILER cause I DID NOT NKOW. Other than the actual pic (and cause the episode is not out on tv or to download) how was this picture taken? I just assumed it was a deleted scene, a hallucination pic or just photoshop with Merle walking to Daryl. I DID NOT KNOW and just wanted to DISCUSS what you guys think of it. It's not my fault you read it and you feel like you get spoiled especially when you comment now after the thread got moved and a new name.

    The point of this forum is to discuss how things could continue in this games series, we won't find an answer either, still it is fun to exchange ideas with people, and by that telltale can see, if they go through the threads what type of things we'd want and wouldn't want.
    Alright again I remind you the caption was enough to let me know what it is about, yeah it is my problem an not yours, you couldn't care less - so don't mind other people, go ahead and spoil them - because you have the dire need to discuss some stupid picture, I wasn't the only one. You said sorry in this thread after some more people complained. You didn't care about the fact you spoiled me, or any of the other guys, as suddenly it were getting more than one complaining, you said "sorry" so people wouldn't think of you as a "douche" (you used the word yourself) - honesty is something different.
    And I never insulted you as a "douche" or "idiot" I even said "sorry for being so pissed" and "anyone could make such a mistake"
    The reason I comment now, is because it's too late anyways, and no, I'm not mad, I'm just trying to tell you, to not spoil such things (no the episode will air sunday, it is not out yet...) without very, very carefully choosing the caption. Trying to make sure that such things not happen in future anymore. I'm trying to keep it nice and easy, I don't mean any of this to insult you, or flame you, consider it constructive criticism, as I said what I would improve when starting such a thread, with a grain of sarcasm.

    @Darth Marsden: If you are talking to me with "keeping it civil" I am sorry if any of those posts by me seem insulting or any thing like that, if any one feels insulted by anything I've said, please let me know.

    Blabla, blablabla, blablablablabla, bla, blabla, bla.

    No need to defend myself anymore and say sorry when i've done that several times and people only post the same thing. At least it saves some time :)

    EDIT:

    Final time, i wanted to discuss the picture which i was not sure if it was fake or not. As this forum has discussed more topics than only the TTG games i assumed all topics of The Walking Dead could be brought here. When it came to the spoiler forum i assumed that was for the TTG game (almost only that being discussed there) so i put a "maybe" spoiler tag and brought it to the General discussion. I put a maybe spoiler tag cause.. I was not sure if it really was a spoiler and wanted people to see this so we could discuss it. Sure the title could and should have been different but i did not really think it as "truth" and we still dont know even though it looks convincing. Moderator then moved it here and later changed the name, it's a better title but the same thing as i wrote with just other words.

    What more can i do? I've typed this in so many different words and ways so many times and people still dont get it, i've said i'm sorry cause i truly am. What more do you want? I can't do anything else, other than to ask you to take your chill pill, try to calm down and continue with your life.

    And yes, you are being a douche. Still whining even though i've explained myself and said sorry a couple of times.
